I see the 1100S has its own article as a coming
classic..
There's a nice photo too of a possible modern elsie ,(XSR 300) I'll take one in blue and white even though it's a 4 stroke, it's bound to be cheaper than a restored
classic.

No question that the XSR will be light and fun. However, could you really drop that much HP if it were to be your only bike.
How about this

Nothing wrong with an MZ. I'd like one myself.

My MZ Baghira was a hoot around London when I lived there. XT660 engine, WP suspension, Acerbis plastics. Great bike for commuting.

I remember seeing one occasionally. Perhaps it was you, there weren't many..

May have been, lived in Sydenham but worked all over. I never saw another in my time there. Hope I was behaving responsibly
